"We
saw the plates around town and thought it would be neat to have one," Geranne Rasmussen
says. "Our friend, Glen Scheeler, who has five plates on his classic cars, told
us to fill out an application through the UW Alumni Association. When we found
out it supported scholarships, we thought that was even better. I attended
college on scholarship, and it's a great way to give back."

The
plates were designed to fund scholarships for incoming freshmen students, both
from Wyoming and out of state. Since the program started in 2007, 64 students
have received scholarships to achieve their higher education goals.

"The Alumni Association scholarship has been very helpful as I pay my
way through college,"
says Ben Collamer of Saratoga, a 2010 scholarship recipient majoring in civil
engineering.

Owners
of vehicles who want to register or renew their registration may submit
applications available at http://www.wyoalumni.com/licensePlateProgram.html. A one-time fee of $130 is required with the plate
application; $100 of the fee is restricted for student scholarships and programming
expenditures.
